Creative Experiences for Every Kind of Team
Creative Experiences Built Around Your Event
Whether you’re planning an intimate team outing, employee celebration, community activation, or a creative experience within a larger corporate event, MintPress can tailor the experience around your people, theme, and goals.
MintPress has partnered with Telegraph Berkeley to produce recurring community art experiences, including Pokémon Paint Parties, Halloween Jazz + Paint Nights, Animal Crossing themed Paint Workshop, paint and sip, figurine painting, TCG-inspired art workshops, and charm and bracelet-making workshops.
We’ve also collaborated with local musicians and businesses including Timeless Tones, Sixth Edition Band, KoStop Fried Chicken, ShareTea, Fresh Noodles, Cali’s Sports Bar, pop-up gourmet coffee and tea businesses to pair catered food with creative art experiences—bringing together art, food, music, and community in one event.
Our community partnerships have included creative programming with the Art2Hearts Foundation, where art events helped create artwork for children’s hospital spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do guests need art experience?
Not at all. Our experiences are designed to be approachable for beginners as well as people who already enjoy making art.
Can you customize the artwork for our company?
Yes. Depending on the project, MintPress can create custom artwork, themes, merchandise, gifts, or other creative elements specifically for your event.
Do you work with corporate event planners?
Yes. We welcome partnerships with event planners, HR and People teams, executive assistants, office managers, universities, and other organizations planning private or corporate events.
Can you provide custom merchandise or gifts for our event?
Yes. Because MintPress also provides design and production services, we can discuss custom stickers, shirts, art prints, gift packages, TCG collectibles, and other creative merchandise alongside your event.
Do you serve companies outside Berkeley?
Yes. MintPress is based in Berkeley and works with clients and organizations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, and the East Coast. Event location and logistics can be discussed when requesting a proposal.
Can you create something completely custom?
Absolutely. Tell us about your team, occasion, theme, and idea. Some of our favorite projects start with, “We don’t know if this is possible, but…”
Beyond Events: We Can Design the Details, Too.
Because MintPress is also a design and production studio, we can create custom elements that make an event feel uniquely yours.
We’ve worked with Kash Cafe to design and produce collectible stickers for CalTopia 2026 and the R&B Tour, as well as with Telegraph Berkeley for Boba Day.
We’re also big fans of TCG and collectible culture, and have hosted numerous TCG-inspired creative workshops—giving us the ability to build experiences around Pokémon, trading cards, anime, art, and other interests that resonate especially well with younger and creative teams.
From the activity to the artwork, merchandise, gifts, food, and atmosphere, MintPress can help turn an event into an experience people actually remember.

Make It Your Company’s Own
This is where MintPress is different.
We’re not only an event provider—we’re also a working art, design, and production studio.
That means we can customize more than the activity itself.
Depending on your event, we can create:
- Company-inspired painting designs
- Custom event artwork
- Branded stickers
- Custom shirts and apparel
- Art prints and posters
- Employee or client gifts
- TCG and collectible gifts
- Event giveaways
- Collaborative artwork
- Custom creative themes
Planning something unusual?
Tell us the idea. We love building experiences that don’t come from a standard event catalog.
One Creative Partner, From Idea to Event
Planning a company event already involves enough moving pieces.
MintPress can help bring together multiple creative elements through one local studio:
Concept → Art Direction → Materials → Creative Activity → Custom Merchandise → Gifts → Entertainment → Event Experience
Rather than coordinating separately with an artist, designer, printer, merchandise vendor, and creative workshop provider, talk to us about what you’d like your event to feel like.
We’ll help determine what makes sense for your group and budget.
